The Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, has stressed that military actions alone cannot achieve national security in Nigeria.
According to him, military action is only just 30 per cent of what is needed to attain national security, while the remaining 70% depends on political and socio-economic interventions.
General Musa stated this during the Roundtable Discussion on Nigeria’s Security and National Interest, organized by the National Counter-Terrorism Centre under the Office of the National Security Adviser, in collaboration with Defence Correspondents, in Abuja.
The CDS who spoke on the theme, “National Security and National Interest: A Development Journalism Approach for the Defence Beat,” emphasized the need for joint efforts in tackling insecurity in Nigeria.
